FF XIV still considered a joke

[Akira_Tenshi]

"So in this week's issue of Random Encounters, we're going to do something a little unique. We're going to make a case for all the Final Fantasys. Need a quick argument? Want to stir the pot a little? Just take one of these ready-made bullet points:"

Final Fantasy XII

Why it's the best: Because its scope is incomparable. Its cities and landscapes are absolutely gigantic, and exploring them all is an absolute pleasure.

Final Fantasy XIII

Why it's the best: Because it has some rocking music. Final Fantasy XIII has the best combat theme of the series and a whole bunch of other bouncy, addictive tracks.

Final Fantasy XIV

Why it's the best: lol

It's quite sad if people still can't say a single positive thing about the game. I know Kotaku really doesn't mean anything but it annoyed me slightly. I think it's about time the media re-reviewed this game so that peoples attitudes toward it may start to change. The article opens by saying there is to much negativity and promotes a positive attitude by saying it will say something good about every FF game and then gets to XIV....that is a little unfair.

Kotaku thinks Activision owns Blizzard. Enough said.

If this was supposed to be a joke, it was way too subtle for me. Activision does own Blizzard since the merge with Vivendi Games in 2008.

Who cares? Are you having fun when you play the game? That's all that matters.

In the game Development Community, Kotaku is considered the National Enquirer of Game Publications..

Bingo. No one, I mean NO ONE, actually takes Kotaku seriously, except for...well... idiots. I mean they are essentially just forum posters/trolls masquerading as journalists. Take his entry for FF XI for example - "Never played it, all online and junk...". Can you imagine a sports journalist whos supposed to write about soccer "i never liked it, they kick a ball with their feet and junk".

I mean some people like it, much like you said it's like the National Enquirer.

And remember - they DO get paid by page view...

lol Oh wait. It gets worse...

XIV- Final Fantasy XI-2: Electric Boogaloo. Brought to you by Chinese sweatshop labor.

XD As funny as that IS...

That's the only time any comment said something about XIV..
Nobody even tried to defend the game in the comments.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the writer of the article hasn't played XIV recently.
